I'm a Windows user *and* an Ubuntu user for years, now, with one single common `.emacs' file for both OS. Therefore, I'll show you what I have in my `.emacs': --8---cut here---start-8--- ;;*** [ 41.1 Single Shell ;; for single shell commands (setq shell-file-name bash) ;; must be in the `PATH' (Windows users) ;;*** [ 41.2 Interactive Shell ;; for the interactive (sub)shell (setq explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name) --8---cut here---end---8--- Almost the same, except the order (not important) and the fact that bash is written in its simplest form: no hard-coded path, and no `.exe' suffix, so that it works for both Win32 and Linux. The only thing to do, for Windows users, is ensure that `bash.exe' (generally located in `C:\cygwin\bin') is in the Windows PATH environment variable. I would advice keeping such a construct, instead of full paths. Best regards, Seb -- Sébastien Vauban ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
